This project describes the design and validation of a maximum power point tracking of an efficient DC-DC converter for solar energy conversion.
A piecewise linear model is used to model the I-V characteristic of a photovoltaic array (PV). It describes how to substantially increase the efficiency of solar power conversion by allowing solar cells to operate at their ideal operating point. While a maximum power point tracker (MPPT) is proposed utilizing a booster converter topology. Solar panel voltage and current are continuously monitored by a closed-loop discrete based control system, and the duty cycle of the booster converter continuously adjusted to extract maximum power.
The goal of this project is to perform a systematic analysis, modeling and evaluation of the key subsystems or components of a solar array system and to develop an optimal tracking and control strategy. |
